Although there are no official prerequisites, it is advisable for the student to review the general concepts of chemistry, physics and mathematics acquired in the secondary education.
The general objective is to intruduce the student to the fundamental concepts of Chemistry. In the long run, it is intended that the student becomes aware of the importance of Chemistry and become familiar with these fundamental concepts od Chemistry.
The aim is to help the student to understand the chemical phenomena of the macroscopic world and to introduce him into the knowledge of the interactions between atoms and molecules at the microscopic level (through the atomic structure and bonding).
the main bases to understand the structure of matter at the microscopic level will be studied, relating them to the type of bond. We will present the basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics that will allow rationalization of macroscopic behavior and the concept of chemical equilibrium. Then, the most common equilibria will be studied and the basic notions of chemical kinetics will be presented.
Main objectives of the subject:
1) Introduce the microscopic vision of chemistry.
2) Knowing the macroscopic interpretation of chemical phenomena:
a. Chemical thermodynamics
b. Chemical equilibrium
c. Chemical kinetics
Master classes:
The student acquires the scientific-technical knowledge of the subject by attending master classes and complementing them with personal study of the topics explained. Depending on the pandemic evolution, these classes will be held in person in the classroom or (totally or partially) by telematic means either synchronously or asynchronously.
The master classes are the activities that require less active participation by the student, since they are conceived as the transmission of knowledge by the teacher. However, its use greatly helps the achievement of knowledge. In the case that the classes have to be done on-line, the active participation of the student will be required.
Problem solving classes:
In these the scientific-technical knowledge exposed in the lectures will be put into practice through problem solving. Since the number of students in class will be half that in theory, active participation by students may be required.
practices:
Although in this subject there is no practical part, some of the practices that will be carried out in the Integrated Laboratory course are directly related to the concepts introduced in this subject.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The assessment will be carried out throughout the course:
Evaluation through review activities: Throughout the course, some review activities will be considered consisting of exercises that collect the main content of the subject and can be solved individually or in groups, self-assessments on the virtual campus, short tests in class or the virtual campus, etc ... These are intended Help the student to review the content of the subject.
The qualification of these activities will be equal to 20% of the final score and does not require a minimum to average the rest of the qualifications.
Evaluation by means of written tests: in this part, the scientific-technical knowledge of the subject obtained by the student, as well as his capacity for analysis, synthesis and critical reasoning, is evaluated individually.
Partial written tests: During the course two partial tests will be carried out that will evaluate the contents of the subject taught until that moment. Each partial test will have a weight of 40% of the final qualification of the subject. It will be necessary to achieve a 5.0 in each one of them so that it is done with average other qualifications of the subject. Students who do not score 5.0 in any of these tests must present themselves to the final test of the suspended part.
Final written test: Students who have not obtained at least 5.0 to one of the partial tests must attend this test. Exceptionally, students who have passed the partial tests may wish to submit a note. Even so, by doing so, they renounce the partial note. It will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 out of 10 to make average with the rest of the qualifications.
The students who have not been evaluated in a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total of evaluable activities or who have obtained a qualification inferior to 3.5points out of 10 in the average of the two written tests written in the final will not be able topresent to the final test .
The global qualification will be:
Global Score = (Activity Review) * 0.2 + (Exams) * 0.8
To overcome the allocation, it will be necessary to exceed 5.
Use unauthorized methods during one of the examinations of the subject (copy or communicate with a colleague, use of cell phones, etc.) will be penalized with a "suspense" rating in the global subject of the subject. current course
Non-evaluable students
It is considered that a student is assessable when he has given 2 or more of the problems or is presented in the first partial test
